E designates a hinge which is fastened to a cleat F intermediate the inner walls of the cabinet, said hinge being mounted upon a pivot and so arranged as to allow the rack to tilt from the position shown in solid lines in Fig. 2 to a osition shown in dotted lines in the same gure or at any intermediate location. It will be noted that a stop pin T is placed intermediate the walls of the cabinet and against which the shorter of the two recessed strips B is adapted to contact, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 of the drawings, to limit the outer throw of the rack.

From the foregoing, it, will be noted that, by the provision of a cabinet as shown and described, a simple and efficient means is afforded whereby disks may be held in pairs by the racks shown and described and which are so arran ed that each rack may be tilted from the cabinet when it is desired to have access to the disk or to observe the identification of the disk printed u on the face thereof. When the racks are tilte back in the cabinet, they will be protected from injury and will alwa s be accessible for ready use,

Wliat I claim to be new is A cabinet for holding disk records, a pivot hinge mounted upon said pin and secured to sai rack, as set orth. In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the resence of two witnesses. CHAR S HENRY PROGLER. Witnesses:
